Chapter Twenty-Six
David I returned before Anya awoke, about twenty minutes after I returned to the room. She still seemed a little drowsy, but tried to hide the fact that she needed more sleep. After all, she had had an extremely long and.interesting last few weeks. Anyway, I'd folded the clothes and put them in a large oak dresser that was in one corner of the room. Then I'd ordered room service for lunch and eaten. I had a turkey sub and a large bowl of soup with coffee to drink.not that it's significant in any way; it's just that I hadn't eaten in a while. So after my meal, I needed something to do. That's when I started reading the room service menu top to bottom, front to back, and, when I grew uninterested enough, I looked at the whole thing backwards. And that's what I was doing when Anya got up, receiving a frown as she realized what I was doing. Anya picked up the phone and ordered a plate of ribs for her lunch, with Mountain Dew to drink. "They have ribs?" I asked. I hadn't noticed them listed on the menu. "Honey glazed. The sign's right here." She described and explained, showing me a miniscule sticker on the phone that told us about them. How could I have missed that?! (Sarcasm, of course) I mean, the sticker was only the size of a flea! (Slight exaggeration) Okay, okay, so it had the perimeter of my thumb nail; close enough. After Anya had finished the ribs, we had to figure something out to do. We had almost thirteen days worth of time to pass by before we left to meet Nicole.
